Manassas Park has one of the region's largest community centers.
- It boasts workout and community rooms, as well as an indoor aquatics facility (where they're trying to hire more daytime lifeguards).
- There are also tons of events at the center, with a yard sale, floating gourd night, youth basketball league, and a special trick-or-treat event planned this month alone.
- The center, built 10 years ago, along with a new police station and new school buildings, is one of the reasons why the city is also drowning in debt.
As the city tries to convince people to come use the center, a common response -- they don't have time.
- Nearly a quarter of respondents to a recent city survey on parks and rec, participants reported lack of time as being a major barrier to participating in programs.
- That's up five points from 2017.
Another reason people stay away: They don't find the events and programs at the center very interesting.
